C339: Never a Safe Day

Mo Jiuye asked: "Have all the bodies been taken care of?"

Eighth Brother answered, seemingly a little disappointed: "This guy, I just chopped off one of his arms and he got scared to death. There wasn't even enough time to dispose of the bodies before taking revenge..."

Mo Jiuye couldn't help but chuckle: "That kind of person is clearly afraid to die. If he's dead, then he's dead."

Fifth Elder Brother knew what Mo Jiuye wanted to ask: "We threw those two bodies in the back mountain."

Speaking of the back mountain, Mo Jiuye had never been there before.

From what those villagers said, it was the place the Barbarians came from when they lacked food and clothing, going over the front mountain and entering Xi Ling Village.

Since his elder brothers had already been there, Mo Jiuye felt it necessary to inquire about it.

"Fifth Elder Brother, when you went to the back mountain, did you discover any suspicious traces or special markings?"

Based on many years of combat experience, when Mo Jiuye had led troops and wanted to sneak into the enemy's interior first, he would send scouts ahead to scout the route and leave markings.

According to the villagers of Xi Ling Village, the Barbarians would come to harass them once every year or two. It would be impossible without leaving markings in those deep mountains.

The elder brothers had all heard about the Barbarian harassment.

Therefore, when the meticulous Fifth Elder Brother went to the back mountain, he made a point to observe carefully.

This was also something he was eager to tell Ninth Younger Brother about.

"Ninth Younger Brother, I discovered traces of burning wood there, and in addition, animal furs and bones. I guess someone must have recently been there, hunting game to survive. As for other markings and such, I really didn't find any. Besides, we were afraid of worrying our family by coming home late, so we didn't linger there for long."

Sixth Elder Brother also stepped forward and said: "We guessed that it was quite likely Barbarians wanting to come raid Da Shun, but they discovered plenty of game there and gave up on the idea."

Mo Jiuye nodded: "That's not an impossibility. After all, those who come to raid are Barbarian commoners, what they want is just something to eat. If they can find something to fill their stomachs, they probably wouldn't want to take the risk and come here."

He paused, then continued: "In any case, we must be vigilant. This year there is little rain, and there may be a drought. If it weren't for the river in our village, and everyone working hard to carry water to irrigate the fields, I'm afraid even the crops would be doomed."

"Here we are only separated from the Barbarians by one mountain. If they have nothing to eat, it's very likely they will come in groups to harass us."

Now the new house had just begun to take shape, and various industries were also being prepared.

Especially since he had planted so many crops, and there were over a thousand rabbits.

Before long, poultry and livestock like chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep would also begin to take shape on a large scale for raising. It would be a pity if they couldn't take care of them and they were stolen.

"Don't worry Ninth Younger Brother, starting tomorrow, we brothers will take turns going over there to keep watch. If anything happens, we'll be able to discover it in time."
